coralreefaquarist Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 215 and no shipping i really hope other want to go in on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_biker Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 Just wanted to clearify, that the Frag-Fest isn't this Saturday, its Saturday the 13th. I know some people were confused on the matter. I think since we were set on the acan before we should go with this one too. It is probably the nicest specimen of the ones in the Eugene fish stores, and a good price too. We just need to get some confirmation from people on whether or not they are in on the coral. Please do this ASAP, we only have a few days to get this coral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tidalsculpin Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Yes, I am in. At ten bucks a polyp, I will but thirty dollars worth. No hard feelings for Jody. I will still say that you have some beautiful corals. Sorry us Eugenians are a little hard to pin down. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coralreefaquarist Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 thats 3 for 30 bucks(clap) algae?impur? siskiou?briefcase? eugeneians unite!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siskiou Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Just checking in on the price: is it still $10 per head since we might get the coral at a good price? If yes, I'd like to go for 2 heads, if possible. Sorry for sounding like such a miser, but times are tough around here currently. Husband has had a lot of medical expenses lately.

downhill_biker Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 please siskiou dont feel like you aren't contributing. this is for you. and if you dont want to buy any, dont, if you can only afford 2 heads, that is what you will get. we are not judging. if we are judging...everyone that has met you knows you are a great person. and FYI we are going to set the "guesstimation" rate at $10 a head for before the party. once we purchase the coral and get everyone to the party, we will take the $30 from some, and $20 from others, and $x from me, and whatever it divides into the $215-240 price, we will give corals accordingly. i know that is mumble-jumble, but basically, you may end up with 3 heads for $20, 4 for $30, we will have to see....we will be very fair about this, but need to set the bar a little high at first to accommodate the initial purchase.

downhill_biker Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 i am willing to make the entire purchase of the coral and have everyone re-emburst me for the coral. i hope that everyone is honest and follows up their word on this. if you dont, you will not be getting a good review in the feedback section.(nono) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siskiou Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Thanks! I could send $20 via paypal any time. Just let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_biker Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 Lets not worry about paypal. I tried them before for selling and it didn't work out. I use them all the time for buying though. I will just make the initial purchase and we can divi it up later. maybe if there is a lone polyp that is left after the dividing, i could take that for the efforts....now i'm scheming...(plotting) now that i have taken a second count on the pic, looks like there are somewhere around 50 heads, so it will most likely be $5 a head.(clap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_biker Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 WOOOHOOO....count em'....BUYING TOMORROW. and there may be more on back side... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breefcase Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 OK, I'm in. I'll throw my $30 into the pot. Just a thought here, and not being an acan enthusiast, I'm not sure, but is this acan a little bleached? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_biker Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 OK' date=' I'm in. I'll throw my $30 into the pot. Just a thought here, and not being an acan enthusiast, I'm not sure, but is this acan a little bleached?[/quote'] acans can have so many different colorations from the same colony. this is due mostly due to lighting. yes, they may be bleached, they may not be, we will have to wait and see. if you look in the LPS section you will see how much coralreefaquarist's acan has changed colors. there is more information in that thread about what causes the color changing.

downhill_biker Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 I went in this morning and it was purchased (sad) By ME!!!!! Picked it up today. He gave me a deal, wasn't quite as good as I was hoping, but $220 is still pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_biker Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 OK....So were are all full. The coral has been completely spoken for....We've cut it off at 8 people, those 8 that have been involved through this whole process, and committed to the coral purchase. If anyone else shows, the event will be very educational, but there is no coral left....sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You tell me if this coral is satisfactory, yes the pink one. And a pic of my new brain coral. Help me out with the ID guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coralreefaquarist Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 if it ends up being to where we can all spend 20 and get 3 or 30 and get 4 we should try to do it so everyone gets the same amountish. awsome. looks like pink lemonde or coton candy(clap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algae Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Worth it!The darker pink oral disk is a nice contrast. The flouresence around the rim "really brings the room together", The Big Lebowski. A great Acan. I think the LFS had it overlit. Trachy for the last photo for me. Kudos for doing the work!!!

coralreefaquarist Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 may be bleached but theres a lot of flesh on there not dead tissue down to the rock. id say we saved it from pettime. they still have acan colonys they got like 3 months ago that were like 80 polyps and are down to like 10 nothing lasts there for long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algae Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 We get more than 3! Look at the count! Plus there are the hidden ones! if it ends up being to where we can all spend 20 and get 3 or 30 and get 4 we should try to do it so everyone gets the same amountish. awsome. looks like pink lemonde or coton candy(clap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Algae Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I really think they overlight Acans there. 400 MH in a shallow tank seems like too much. What ya think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
